Training school

After the level 2 missions are given by the town sage,
and successfully complete the "The Great Jungle Kut-Ku"
mission. You can now access a training school to practice against
the Kut-Ku with limited weapons, armor and items. After other
monsters are defeated in missions, they will also become unlocked
for practice.

Pet pig

Near the beginning of the game, you will see a pig
following a man around the village. Stroke it and music will play.
As soon as the music stops, press X and the pig will become
yours.

Hints

Easy money

Complete all level 1 quests. After this, talk to the main near your house. He is to the left of the south entrance. He will let you go to the Koto farm. Once there, do everything you can (mining, fishing, etc.), then leave and sell the items you obtained. Then, go to the wise person but do not talk to him. Instead, look behind him. You will see a house. Try going in the offline hall. When you get there, you will see lots of things. Speak to the girl with the red dress in between the wise old man and the girl in the blue dress. Talk to her, and she will give you a list of quests. Go to the top and choose the easiest level. One of the missions will be a gathering mission, but nothing for you to gather. Choose it and start the quest. Go to the supply box and get Paw Print out of it. Deliver it to the other box and you will have completed the quest. Once you are back in town, go to the Koto farm and get more items. Sell them and repeat the process again. This is an easy way to make money, and is also a good way to help renovate the Koto farm.

Complete all level 1 of the wise person. Select the last mission. You will need 200Z for the mission fee and one or two picks. Start the mission. Get the supplies and eat the meat to get more resistance. Follow this route 2 to 5. If you find an Gendrome here, kill it. Then go to 10 to 11. On 11 you will need to mine to get the crystal. Then, return from the same route. From 10 run straight to 5. Run in zigzags to 2 (walk or run). There is nothing here that can attack you (except for the Gendrome sometimes). At 1 deliver the crystal and you will get the 3000Z and 200 multiplied by 2Z of the fee.

Do the "Gathering" quest for Forest/Hills, where you just have to deliver the Paw Pass ticket in the supply box. In the supply box, grab your map and your Paw Pass Ticket. Go to
Area 2. Search around the first rock you see on the left when entering from Area 1. You will get either a Kut-Ku Scale or a Paintberry. Just sell the Kut-Ku Scales for easy money.

Do the "Gathering" quest for Swamp in the Four Star guild quests, where you just have to deliver the Paw Pass Ticket in the supply box. Bring pickaxes. If you are bringing Iron, bring four because they will constantly keep breaking. To get good money, enter all the caves and mine all the areas. You can get ores such as Dragonite, Union, Machalite, etc. Sell them or keep them for smithing.

At the start of the game talk to the chief and get money. Then talk to the man and go to Kokoto farm. Complete the level 1 quests and the "A Formidable Velocidrome" quest. Then, get a Bonekris or Bonepick (recommended) . Upgrade it to Bonespike and repeatedly kill Velocidromes. Make sure you also kill lots of Velocipreys. Carve up everything you killed. When you are back in the village, sell all the items you have then go to the farm. Get everything and sell it. The quest alone results in 1,100Z for doing it with one life. This is also a good way to get points to renovate the farm, and the Bonespike can kill a Velocidrome in a little under ten hits.

After you have completed the first quest, do it again. However, this time get ten Raw Meats. Deliver two meats to the box to complete the quest. Then, do the quest repeatedly without having to go to the dinosaurs to get meat. In three days it is possible to get over 20,000Z. The amounts of money may vary upon the length of playtime.

Have at least 3,000 Z. Go to the weapon smiths and get a Bone Blade. Keep improving it until you get a Vile Serpent Blade. Then, do the Formidable Velocidrome quest. Follow the Velocidrome where ever he moves. The sword will kill Velocipreys in one hit, and Velocidromes in six or seven blows to the head. Kill lots of Velocipreys. When you complete the quest, mine and sell your Velociprey items and things from the Kokoto Farm. Go to the Offline Hall and do the Velociprey Lords quest. Kill the Velocidromes and many Velocipreys. Be careful with the Rathalos in Area 3 though. You can get lots of money and equipment by doing this repeatedly.

Do any gathering quest, and bring a BBQ Spit. Make sure you have lots of meat and make ten Well Done Steaks (press X soon after the music). Go back to town and sell them all for an easy profit.

Easy items

Do the gathering quest for forest and hills from the
guild. When you enter Zone 1, go down the hill turn to your right
so that the cliff type landscape is on your right side. Go forward
towards the water. You will see a pile of dung sitting on the
ground in the corner. Go over to it and press Circle. You
will get either dung, monster droppings, or a Kut-Ku scale. Use
the dung and monster droppings to fertilize your field.Sidewinder.

"Catching A Rathalos" four star quest

In order to complete the quest, first find a Rathalos. Attack its tail to cut it off. You can carve from it if desired. Keep hitting him at the head if possible until he limps. Be careful because you might kill him. He will probably go back to Zone 5 to sleep. Go there. Either throw a flash bomb to stun the Velociprey or quickly lay a pitfall trap. Waking up Rathalos can be dangerous. If you have a hammer or great sword, kick him in the head then lead him to the trap. Throw the tranquilizer bomb and you should capture the Rathalos. If the quest is not yet complete, hit him a few times, make a new trap, lay it down, lead him there, and throw a tranquilizer bomb.

"Deliver The Egg" quest

Take out all the potions and rations. It is also helpful to bring some well done steaks. Go to Area 2 and kill every Velocoprey that jumps in there. This may take awhile and require some potions. After you kill them, go to Area 3 then to Area 4. You will see a scene where the Ratholos swoops in. As soon as it quits, crouch down by pressing X. After that, walk slowly behind the nearest big rock and try to watch the Ratholos, but make sure he cannot see you. If done correctly and you keep out of his sight, he will fly off. Stand up and run for Area 5. When you get there, kill all the Velocoprey. There should only be four of them. After you enter an intermission sequence will show you where the nest is located. Once the Velocoprey are dead, go up to the nest. Do not get the egg yet. Instead, eat all you rations or well done steaks. Search the nest to find the egg. Note: Watch your stamina; if it goes all the way down you will break the egg. Also, if you are attacked or try to use an item the egg will fall and break. You should now have an easy way back to camp. Go to Area 4 then Area 3. Be careful, as Ratholos may be in any of these areas at any time. If you see him, run back to the previous area and wait for him to leave. Sometimes if you go back to Area 2 after the Velocoprey are killed, there will be one straggler. However, most of the time if you killed them all before you should be safe. Just watch out for the Vesipod. From Area 2 go to Area 1. Then go to the camp. Go to the delivery box and press Circle. You have now successfully delivered your first egg.

Killing Garuga

Bring 99 level 2 bullets. There is a ledge that you
can climb to attack the Garuga. It is the smaller ledge. The Garuga
is too dumb to come up. All you need to do is keep shooting it
in the head.. You will get 40,000 Z for winning.

Killing Khezus

Note: A Khezu is blind, so you will not see an eye icon at the left of the screen. The weak spot is the head, specifically the mouth, and the strong point is the hide. Blue sharpness and below is deflect; white sharpness is cut. Keep hammering the head until it limps. Then, track it down to probably a cave. It is actually quite easy to defeat a Khexu. Beware of the electric attacks like the Full Body Charge. To avoid this, when attacking immediately jump away. Another Khezu electrical attack is the Tri-Bolt from its mouth. To avoid this, stay to the side of its mouth but not too near. When it launches the Tri-Bolt, immediately attack the head. Note: If it stops and exhales white smoke, it is getting weaker.

Killing Kut-Ku

Get a Bowgun and level 2 (99) bullets. Keep shooting at its head until it falls. You will get a lot of money by completing this quest.

Killing Rathalos

This trick requires five Flash Bombs, good armor (preferably Garuga) and Dual Blades (Raven or Wolf Tessen) with high green sharpness and attack. Once the quest begins, immediately take all the supplies except for the ones not needed. Once you find Rathalos (Azure or otherwise) mark him with a Paintball. If he charges, wait for him to stop. When he faces you, throw a Flash Bomb. If he just spits a fireball, throw a Flash Bomb afterwards. Once he is stunned, draw out your weapon and Demonize. If Rathalos does not swing its tail, use the Frenzy attack (Triangle + Square) and keep hammering the head. If it snaps out of it, use a Flash Bomb again and keep hammering its head. Do this until it is slain. Note: This technique can also be used with a Rathian (Pink or otherwise)

Killing Yian Kut-Ku

Use the following trick to kill Yian Kut-Ku (Jungle-Level 2 quests) easily. To do this without using a bowgun, you will need armor (at least Velociprey), a good sword (preferably Hurricane+, which are dual swords), Psycoserum, Paint Balls, fifteen Whetstones, ten potions, five Herbs and Blue Mushrooms, Rations/Steaks, two Flashbombs, two Sonic Bombs (Screamer + Gunpowder), Pitfall Trap, two Nets, two Traptools, Combo Books 1 and 2, and 3, small and three Large Barrel Bombs. Go to Area 2 and use Psycoserum to find Kut-Ku. Mark it with a Paintball. Dodge its attacks until it goes berserk and runs at you. Immediately, lay a Pitfall Trap so it is between you and the Kut-ku. Lure it in, and when it gets stuck immediately set a Large Barrel Bomb then a Small Barrel Bomb and run. Do this until you are out of bombs. Then, attack it as much as possible while it is still stuck in the trap. When it gets out, use a Flash or Sonic Bomb. Attack it while it is immobilized. Be careful because it can still hit you with its tail. Do this until it is dead. Note: When its ears go down, it is very close to dying. Just keep hammering it. You will have to sharpen a lot. Only weapons with green sharpness can cut through well enough to kill it.

Killing Wyvens

It is best to have a sword and shield. Run up towards
the Wyven and get underneath it. Start attacking it from underneath.
They can not breath fire or spit things at you. However, watch
out for rams, melee attacks and charges. This is properly the
best way, apart from bowguns, to defeat them.

Quick armor

Complete the first five level 1 quests. You will then
see a quest called "Your First Hunt" which involves
killing three Velocoprey. Do it to get hides and items. Then,
mine and do the quest and mine quest. Make Veloceprey armor from
the ore and Veloceprey item. Note: You need to do the quest "Present
For The Armor" twice to get Kelbi Hide for the armor.

Getting Kut-Ku Scales

In every Jungle quest that you do, go to Area 6 and
jump up on the ledge. Walk next to the Wyvern egg nest, then search.
You will find one to four Kut-Ku scales every time, which sell
for 250 Z each. An easy way to do this is to go to the Offline
Gathering Hall and repeatedly do the four star "Gathering-Jungle
Zone" quest.

Getting Monster Bone+

Clear "Attack Of The Kut-Ku", a four star
quest at the guild. When you defeat it, you might get an item
called Small Kut-Ku Ear. Sell everything from the Kut-Ku except
the ear and start a gathering quest at the guild in the forest
and hills. Go directly to Area 7 and find the short bald man.
He will trade the Small Kut-Ku Ear for a Monster Bone+. You can
trade three times. There is a second, but more annoying way to
get it. Take "The Storm Of Yian Kut-Ku" quest at the
guild. It is also a four star quest. Kill at least ten and you
should get six Monster Bone+s.

Catching the Plesioth faster

First, unload Clust level 1, then six shots of Clust
level 2 and do the same with Crag 1 and 2.

Loprey Scales

Go to the Offline Gathering Hall. Go to the 2 star
quest and do the Volcanic Gathering zone They are on the first,
second, or third place on the map.

Veggie Elder tickets

Link up with someone, befriend them, and raise your
friendship level to about 12 (not the heart-o-meter, but on the
card it says lvl). Then, talk to the Hero's brother sitting at
the reception. He will give you a Veggie Elder ticket. The better
the friendship, the better the ticket.

Ore

Go to the Offline Gathering quest. Go to the four star
gathering quest. Note: The gray areas on the map are mining points.
You do not always have to do quests. You can go to the Kokoto
farm to get a pick axe. Then go inside the gathering hall. Go
to the woman nearest to the door. Note: There are two women in
red outfits.

Hunter Rank 2

To reach Hunter Rank 2, you must clear the following
four star guild quests: The Land Shark, Trouble in the Swamp,
Jungle Menace, Attack of the Yian Kut-Ku, Catch a Yian Kut-Ku,
and Catch a Gypceros. Then, clear the urgent quest 4 Horns.

Glitches

"Revenge Of The Garuga" quest

Start the "Revenge Of The Garuga" quest.
Take only your weapons, armor, and one Spiderweb. Once the quest
is started, go directly to Area 7 (going through Areas 1 and 8).
Talk to the little man in Area 7. He will give you a special mushroom
for your Spiderweb. Accept that offer. Now just sit and wait until
time runs out. It will say that you have completed the quest.
The next time you try the quest you will not be able to do this
trick. However, if you kill Garuga, who only has one third of
his normal life because of the glitch, you can do the glitch again.
Afterwards you must kill him and repeat the process again to get
Garuga armor, weapons, and lots of money.

Easy money, armor, and weapons

Once you have the six star urgent quest "Rage of Yian Garuga" or "Revenge of the Garuga", repeat the quest over and over again by doing the glitch (deliver one Spiderweb to Forest Elder in Zone 7 and wait until time runs out) and defeating The Yian Garuga the next time you do the quest. Note: This time Garuga has one-third of its life remaining. Do the quest after you did the glitch and get everything in the supply box. Go to Zone 2. Kill all the Velociprey and Vespoid and wait for Garuga. The bowgun is probably the best weapon because there is a low ledge there and Garuga will not fly to get you. Stay at the very back of the ledge because the fireball can hit you. Note: Keep aiming at the head to defeat it quickly. The best weapon probably is the shotgun (blood). Then make a Raven Do. You can make Garuga Armor and Garuga weapons which offer High Defense, High Attack, and White Sharpness if upgraded to Wolf (for example, Sentoryu Raven upgraded Sentoryu Wolf), but it will be expensive. Sell some Garuga items if you have too many. Try to keep the Garuga Carvings at a quantity of five or ten. You can get more than 100,000Z by doing this

Duplicate items

Play with two players. Get all the items you want to trade and go to the online gathering hall. Give all the items you want to the other player. Note: There are some items you cannot trade. Turn off the game without saving while the other player stays in the online gathering hall. Turn on the game again and you will have all the items that you gave away. Get back all the items you gave the other player and you will have doubled your items.

Secret Desert area

Apparently there is a secret area in G Class gathering
quest. You can go there by starting a Desert Gathering quest,
then turning off the PSP when the loading screen reads "Beginning
Quest". Wait a few seconds, then turn it back on. You should
be in a zone between Zones 6 and 7. You can get rare stones on
the ground.
